can i remove bad links created by Glossbot? - 2006/08/09 17:08 Hi, i tested the latest Glossary and the Glossbot. I really like the feature of automatically making the links in the content items. Obviously it is not perfect, so it selects some very funny things.

Is there a way to use this automatic feature, but then the admin have a look and have the ability to manually remove the nonsense links and leave the useful ones?

Cheers,
NiCo

Re:can i remove bad links created by Glossbot? - 2006/08/11 19:27 ok, sorry

i mean if i have the Glossbot to recognize ocurrences not only exact but also part of the word:

example(i'll make an english example though it makes more sense in how singulars and plural are made in spanish):

let's say i have a term in the glossary that is 'joy'

then in the same content item i might see highlighted as recognized occurrenced of that term, the following words:

-joyful
-joy
-enjoy

So i still would like to have a way of manually removing the highlight from the word 'enjoy' but leave it in the others. Is that possible?

As i say, in other languages different than english the unwanted results might tend to be 'funnier' than in this example

Cheers and thanks for your time,
NiCo

Re:can i remove bad links created by Glossbot? - 2006/08/12 13:21 I'm not sure it would be practical to vary the scheme without creating much too much work for site administrators. The option to match parts of words is probably not useful in many cases - it will only work well where the terms are quite long and/or complex and therefore partial matches stand a good chance of being relevant.

In most cases, I would expect people to use the whole word matching option.

Re:can i remove bad links created by Glossbot? - 2006/08/16 02:25 i am sorry, i was confusing scenarios. I am not that interested in the matching parts of words feature...as you say, it is only practical in the situation you describe, which is not mine.

Anyway...using the whole word matching, is where what i was bringing to your attention is an issue.

My site is about Tango music, and i have a Glossary of Tango/dance terms. Some of those terms are music terms. As just a "real" example of what i mean, one of this terms is "Tiempo"

The definition in the context of Tango for that term in english is:

"Each of the parts into which a beat is divided. The Tiempo can be duplicated or divided. Pisar en tiempo (to step to the beat): to follow the basic rhythm of the music. Pisar en doble tiempo (to step to every other beat): to slow down the step; pisar en medio tiempo (to step twice to every beat): TraspiƩ."

I think in english you have two different words: time and tempo, but in spanish we have only one word.

So in my case, if i would have an article that said something like: "... At that TIME, Pepito Perez had already started to play with several known orchestras..."

In this example i would definetely not want to have "time" highlighted.

in a normal article, i would need to remove 2 out of each 10 words that are matched by the glossary. Leaving them highlighted would be a really poor approach in my case as the definition does definetely not correspond to that term.

In those cases, i would be more than willing to manually add some "disable" tag or something like that to leave that word out of the mambot.

Would it be very difficult to implement? Maybe if you give me a hint i can do it and then share it.

I hope it makes sense.

Cheers and thanks for your component,
NiCo
